The Black & Blue World Tour was a worldwide concert tour by the Backstreet Boys in support of their fourth album Black & Blue and took place in 2001.
The first leg of the tour kicked off on January 22, 2001, in the United States. The second leg began June 8 in the group’s hometown of Orlando, Florida, and was temporarily put-on hold July 9, for A. J. McLean to seek treatment for clinical depression which led to anxiety attacks and the excessive consumption of alcohol.
The tour resumed on August 24 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and wrapped up on October 19 in Paradise, Nevada. The Boys then continued their tour in Japan before it came to a close on November 25, 2001.
It grossed over $315 million (US) worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing concert tour by an artist in general of the year. The tour was sponsored by Burger King, Kellogg’s, and Polaroid.
